While I had some issues with Specsavers Carlow, Avril resolved all of them, got my lenses remade and ensured that they were correctly fitted. She did all that with the utmost courtesy and a constant, friendly smile. Thank you Avril.

Last November purchased glasses from shop in question, glasses was such poor quality that had to go back on few occasions to get them fixed, and on one this visit member of staff offered me deal, if next time glasses breaks he will give me a deal on the next pair 50% discount, so I thought very decent from specsavers looking after customers, but as I later find out that is not the case, is only marketing tactics to get you to buy new pair of glasses. Anyway I comeback last Saturday to get glasses fixed or to use deal offer to buy new glasses, so as we all know, specsavers has always deal buy one get one free, and what happened I ended pay 50% less but I only getting half of the deal also. One pair only. In this case 50% discount became a con job, and total dishonest practice on behalf of specsavers.

I purchased an expensive pair of glasses, which I really liked. Unfortunately, one of the temples came off. Despite the brand’s website stating that the frames come with free lifetime service, the advisor informed me that the only option available was to replace the entire frame for €120.
This is very disappointing, especially the promise of lifetime service. I will not be using their service again and cannot recommend it to others.

Update*After I left my initial review, I was contacted by the Customer Service team who assured me the issue would be resolved. The staff at the store acknowledged the problem and promised to replace the arms of my glasses. Since the original parts were unavailable, they assured me they would use the closest matching ones. However, when I went to collect my glasses, I was shocked to find that only one arm had been replaced which looked completely different. The broken original arm was never returned to me despite my request. On my question how I will wear the glasses with mismatched arms, I was told that “the difference is not noticeable.”

I have been a customer for over 10 years .
This time was different very poor eye test with no Information when I asked about my eye test I didnt understand the answer as he had a very strong accent.
I also had a contact lenses check .
He said I needed a prescription change but when I put the new lenses in I couldn't see .
He then said the ones I had were OK.
I ordered new glasses when they came I couldn't see at all through the left eye .
3 times I have been back the company that produce the glasses we're blamed .
I then went back again 5 weeks later to try the fixed glasses I still couldn't see .
I asked for a refund as I really don't ever want to deal with specsavers again 0/0 .

Very poor and unprofessional service from Specsavers in Drogheda, when buying glasses for our 8 year old Daughter we where told to go to Louth Hse to obtain a voucher for a discount on the glasses, I took time off work and my daughter out of school early in order for us to get the this voucher and her glasses fitted upon arrival at the Louth hse, we where told we where at the wrong office as the voucher is only available to residents of Louth and that we would have to go to Navan hse as we live in Meath, I proceeded to Specsavers on the day and expressed my frustration at being given this wrong information, I was not offered an apology by the staff member on the day just excuses about how it was an hse issue and not the fact that we where told by them to go to the Meath office despite our address being clearly printed on the letter that they wrote and gave to us, I understand that the hse in itself is another confusing organisation but you would think that a company that pretends to be professional would give out correct information and not waste people’s valuable, after getting no satisfaction at the store I made a complaint through their website but again after multiple emails back and forth, lorraine from the admin team could not see any fault on their behalf and did not fully understand the issue, an exasperating person to deal with.

Absolutely appalling service on every level from Specsavers in Gorey. I absolutely would not recommend this shop. Extremely unprofessional, incompetent staff, pathetic customer service service. I wouldn’t even give them one star, never again

Had earwax removal at Specsavers in Ashbourne…staff were very friendly, professional and helpful, in particular Jonathan and Adam.
I would highly recommend this store.

Shocking customer service..waiting for my glasses for longer than a month..paid close to 600 euros and still no glasses..they do not care about customer omplaints whatsoever and the company has no processes set up to deal with customer complaints..avoid

Bad experience, lock of knowledge, bad frame, lenses and optics job..I did my 2 glasses with specsavers.was expensive so I told can be good quality..nothing it's not. They mixed up my 2 glasses lenses. Visible because the tint on it. One pink tint another lenses green..on the same glasses. Never back there. Also my son glasses bad checked and given wrong lenses on his right eye..so he often was without. I checked his eyes in different opticians and figured out the specsavers did mistake on his glasses too So really confused with the services what SPECSAVERS GALWAY SHOPPING CENTER MADE!!!!

Yet again a disappointing service.

Went in this morning for glasses after work and I was looking for over 20 minutes, no one offered help. I had to ask and was told by girl on reception she would get someone. Only to find they came and helped, people who just came in. So I walked out after 40 minutes. Terrible service.

A year ago, we couldn’t get anyone to help with glasses, waited nearly an hour.

There is companies that are happy to take £425 of business.

Despite having been given the wrong advise about my new glasses which was unsuitable for my prescription Sharon the manager and Autumn from Specsavers who made sure that my glasses fitted correctly, far exceeded my expectations in helping me choose new frames which were better suited to my prescription I can not praise these ladies from the Nottingham branch highly enough. So once again ladies thank you for listening my concerns and making me feel that nothing was too much trouble .Service shouldn't be judged on things that go well but on how quickly and how well things are put right

I've been getting my glasses fitted at Specsavers in Ashbourne since 2019, previously in Blanchardstown, and I'm afraid my glasses weren't fitted correctly from the start. However, my recent experience has prompted me to write this review, mainly because Specsavers has ignored the complaints I've sent. Staff from Ashbourne is extremely rude and is using gaslighting techniques to intimidate their customers. I bought varifocal glasses with second pair free, but still it cost me €400. When I collected my glasses, I immediately noticed that I don’t see correctly but I was forced to try my new glasses for 2 weeks. The objects I looked at with my glasses were distorted, the letters were blurry, I suffered from severe eye pain and headache, but I was trying to wear new glasses as I believed in professionalism of the staff. Most difficulties I had with close and intermediate vision. During my few interactions with Specsavers’ staff in Ashbourne 3 people introduced themselves as managers, and every one of them was giving me contradictory information. They were trying to sell me another pair of glasses telling me that tailor-made varifocals are not good for computer use, despite the fact that the Specsavers website clearly states that they are suitable for reading, driving and working on a computer. They offered to “lift my lenses” but after that I was unable to see on distance, however, reading was ok. Still intermediate vision was not good. When I came back again to the store, I was again gaslighted by another manager, who at first was telling me that my frames are too big (but when I was buying them no one questioned their size) and later, when I was refusing to change frames for the smaller one, she offered to replace my lenses for different one. I could not get information which one she is offering, as I paid for most expensive tailor-made lenses, so changing for different varifocals had no sense for me. I decided to go on Specsavers chat with question what types of tailor-made varifocal lenses they have, but I had to wait for answer for several days, because they did not understand my question. Finally, they confirmed that they have only one type of tailor-made varifocals, so clearly for me this manager was trying to replace my lenses with cheaper ones without informing me about it. It was only when I came with a family member who was with me to witness their gaslighting and rude behaviour they offered me refund. I wrote a comprehensive complaint to Specsavers over a month ago, but I still haven't received a response. This clearly demonstrates that not only Ashbourne branch, but the entire company, doesn't care about customer well-being and satisfaction. I also requested all my medical records under FOI, but only received prescriptions, no additional information about me, and I know they have notes on the whole situation because the manager herself informed me about it during our last conversation. After this traumatic experience, I went to a regular optician, and it turned out that I had a completely different vision problems than the one diagnosed by Specsavers. The optician gave me a prescription without any problem, and I ordered my glasses online for which I paid only €52.
Not only are my glasses advanced varifocals, much better quality than the ones from Specsavers, but they also have scratch-resistant coating, reflexion and 100% UV + blue light blocking. I have one pair of glasses that meet all my needs, I can finally see without any problems, but also with such low prices, there's nothing stopping me from buying more glasses in various styles.
Don't overpay, because you really don't have to, and it's best to have your eyes examined by a professional optician who knows their job.

Shockingly bad service from their Liffey Valley branch. Booked a contact lens assessment almost 1 week ago. 6 days later I get a call - no apology, telling me that they don’t offer that appointment on a Sunday so I need to change my day..The appointment was booked via their own website, clearly showing the appointments available for that day. I asked why they left it almost 1 week before telling me this - the employee said “were only “atter” seein it now”…how polite..no effort made, no acceptance that this is their own error, zero commercial awareness of the value of a contact lens client long term. Don’t bother trying with them - they won’t last with this type of service

Very disappointed with Specsavers Sligo. Paid €55 for a full eye test and contact lens prescription. I only received the glasses prescription. They promised to email the contact lens one but never did. In-store staff couldn’t find my prescription and asked me to pay again. Manager refused to give their name, and no customer service email was provided. Lack of transparency and poor service. Not recommended.

Ive been going to Specsavers every since I was a kid and their glasses are such poor quality, the lenses fall out, the frames get bent easily.

I got eye tested and paid for new glasses on 17th July 25.
The opticians were very good, spent great time testing.
Went home submitted a claim to my health insurance, this was declined because they could not make out the date.
I called in on 18th July to Specsavers for to ask them to give me a 3 lines on an A4 page, they said it would take A Week.
When i collected my glasses on 23rd July, i explained to optician i needed a clearer receipt, he said
Its up to The Admin Section and it could take a week.
I got an e.mail last night dated 28.7.25
BUT SAID Date of sale was 28.3.25.

If i could give zero stars i would. Ordered my 2 year old son’s glasses on the 15th of June,I paid €194 on top of the €55 from the under 12’s scheme. I paid for his lenses on 1 pair to be thinned down and a second pair of frames. I was told the glasses the lady recommended were “toddler proof” and very flexible and would be ready by the 29th of June the latest.

The day came to collect the glasses and i hadn’t heard anything so i rang and was told there was a delay but they were in transit and would be here in 3 days. Again on the day in question i hadn’t heard anything so I rang and was told they’re delayed possibly because of how strong his prescription is and would be in by the end of the week. I was also told “not to ring back that they’d ring/ text me. So i waited yet again 10 more days and decided to call back. This time i got a different lady who told me the glasses were still in transit but because they’re coming from Hungary they’re taking longer to get here. At this point i was being told the glasses where in transit over 2 weeks which in this day and age is just quite frankly unbelievable. 5 more days passed and I decided to call into the shop in person to find out what was really going on. Only for the lady to tell me my sons glasses where there for me to collect yet nobody had contacted me to tell me. Considering i was told 3 times on the phone not to contact them they’d contact me when they arrived is just ridiculous. But i was happy to finally have my son’s glasses 5 weeks later!!!!

Fast forward 5 days and the “toddler proof” glasses broke!!! He bent them and the hinge broke so now less than a week later i’m down to 1 pair and have no spare. I understand he bent them but I was told on more than one occasion that they’re very flexible and less likely to break. I only went with specsavers because i thought they’re such a big company i’d have no issues but have been met with nothing but problems from the get go. This was my son’s 1st pair of glasses so i’d no experience in buying glasses but I’ll definitely go elsewhere from now on. Avoid this place at all costs!!!

I never go anywhere else only to the naas branch specsavers.went in last week with a small issue with my glasses and was told to go back to wherever I got them I explained to the girl I got them in this shop my name is on the system she asked a manager to help and her response was we don't do that brand and even though I assured her I got them there she said not a hope and I was dismissed one good reason not to go back to naas branch very unhelpful to treat an elderly person in this way I won't be back bet they didn't see this coming

I was a bit late in leaving my feedback as I was on vacation, but I haven’t forgotten the professionalism, kindness, and passion Ines demonstrated in her work. I don’t usually leave reviews, but in this case, I truly felt it was deserved. A sincere thank you to Ines and the entire Specsavers Swords team.

I was misinformed from the start of my visit, I was told my child woukd not qualify for a free eyetest with the HSE, then my child was provided an eyetest with additional screening of retina without telling me the retina screening was optional. Then I was encouraged to buy her glasses with microgen lens costing over 300 euro, despite a very low recommended prescription number. I didnt feel comfortable buying thr glasses so I left and then contacted the HSE, got a free eye test for my child, who passes with no requirement for glasses! I have lost all trust in this company, they are interested in sales and sales only, not good advice and zero transparency.
